Re: Hugh Ferry: Packard's most underrated president?

You may be right that if he were around today, would be disappointed. His years were good in many ways for many people, my family included. We'd probably still be driving on 2 lane and gravel roads without his interstate system--although he did have to convince another congress that it was needed for national defense before they would appropriate any money.

Unfortunately though, the Packard deed was done by his appointee on his watch. Based on no information apparently ever found that he tried to stop it or was not supportive, must conclude it was done with his full approval. As his predecessor said, "the buck stops here".
